...Here is a plain, blunt, simple-hearted countryman. . . . For good or for evil, his personality entirely lacks the flick of a cocktail. He is genuine cider. The small pinched-up eyes, with their uplifted brows, have the shrewdness of the shepherd rather than the sharpness of the merchant; the deep, grave, kindly voice has no note of drawing-room or art coterie, but the tone of a slow, pondering, decisive country mind. He is a man of action, but his activity suggests the fields and not the city. He is quick with humour and not a sluggard in the matter...

Seven of the coaches who trained the team which will meet the Orange and the Black this afternoon, played on Haughton's teams, and all were deeply moved by his death...
...with all the life in the characters, with all the movements of the story, the audience never held its breath so intently as when Bishop and Earl were discovering for each other the deep, the epoch-opening significance of Joan's dismissal of clergy and peerage. Discourse political and religious held the stage for minutes on end, but the attention of the listeners was fixed as if it had been heartthrobs and anguish. These were to have their sway later on, for although "Saint Joan" is indeed a controversy, it is before that a play. Those who prefer Shaw...
